TL;DR: A consistent positive concave-down effect of biodiversity on forest productivity across the world is revealed, showing that a continued biodiversity loss would result in an accelerating decline in forest productivity worldwide.

TL;DR: Analysis of LSFs between 1959 and 2017 and the resistance strategies of Northern Hemisphere woody species to infer trees’ adaptations for minimizing frost damage to their leaves and to forecast forest vulnerability under the ongoing changes in frost frequencies reveals region-specific changes in the spring-frost risk that can inform decision-making in land management, forestry, agriculture, and insurance policy.

TL;DR: In this paper , a ground-sourced global database was used to estimate the number of tree species at biome, continental, and global scales, with most undiscovered species being rare, continentally endemic, and tropical or subtropical.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated which combination of filtering and interpolation algorithms can offer the best DTM accuracy in conditions involving very dense forest in very dense forests in the Czech Republic.

TL;DR: The Forest Observation System (FOS) initiative is presented, an international cooperation to establish and maintain a global in situ forest biomass database that offers the potential to improve the accuracy of RS-based biomass products while developing new synergies between the RS and ground-based ecosystem research communities.
